I just wrapped up a restoration on an early 1900s Kentucky pattern axe, and this one gave me a real workout. Cleaning up the steel was the fun part. Shaping the hickory to fit that old V bottom eye was the fight. That wood did not want to cooperate, and getting a perfect fit took way more time and patience than I expected. But the end result locked in tight and feels solid in the hand again.
The handle fitting was a one off and definitely not something I plan on doing often, but I’m always happy to sharpen axes, tools, knives, and all the everyday blades you rely on.
